From a pack of 52 cars all kings and queens are removed. Remaining cards are well shuffled and a card is drawn. What is the probability that it is a Red Jack ? |
$\frac{1}{26}$ $\frac{1}{11}$ $\frac{1}{13}$ $\frac{1}{22}$ |
$\frac{1}{22}$ |
A standard deck of cards contains 4 kings and 4 queens. Total kings and queens = 4 (kings) + 4 (queens) = 8 cards. Find the number of remaining cards after removing the kings and queens: Initially, there are 52 cards in total. After removing 8 cards (kings and queens), the remaining number of cards is: 52−8=44 cards Total number of red Jacks = 2 So, the probability that it is a Red Jack = \(\frac{2}{44}\) = $\frac{1}{22}$ |
